America 250: A Republic at War with Itself (An evening with Dr. Os Guinness)
Free societies are rare. Lasting free societies are rarer still.
In the year America marks 250 years, the country finds itself deeply divided over the very things that made the founding possible. Today's controversies raise questions about the Republic and democracy, and beneath them, harder questions about freedom, human dignity, and the meaning of life itself.
Join us for an evening with Dr. Os Guinness, who has watched and loved America as an outsider for decades, in conversation with Dr. Vince Vitale. Together they will look honestly at how we arrived here and what it would take to renew a free society that can last.
